The Mills Mint Farm of Stanfield will be honored as the winner of the 2008 Cooperator of the Year. The Umatilla County Soil and Water Conservation District hand the award out yearly.

The Umatilla County Soil and Water Conservation District’s mission statement is: “To conserve, protect and develop soil, water, and other natural resources for the economic and environmental benefit of the residents of Umatilla County.”

The award is going to the Mills Mint Farm because it is involved in conservation in many ways. The farm, that started as a dairy farm in 1950, grows sweet corn, sugar snap peas, grass seed, alfalfa and wheat on 3,000 acres of farmland.

The award will be given to The Mills Mint Farm on January 29 at the Umatilla County Soil and Water Conservation District annual meeting. Tickets are available to attend the event.
